WRT driver’s radio team: “I lost her”
There BMW #46 of Valentino Rossi, Maxime Martin and Ahmad Al Harthy was leading the 24 hours of Le Mans in the LMGT3 class, but an error by the Omani driver forced the WRT team crew to retire.
When night had fallen in Le Mans and the rain had returned Ahmad Al Harthy lost the rear of the M4 as he exited the Dunlop Bridge. The car hit the barriers and remained in the gravel.
“I lost my rear end”The radio team by Ahmad Al Harthy. The WRT team thus had to withdraw the car which had demonstrated that it had a great chance of winning. Valentino Rossi was the protagonist of excellent stints, but must postpone the appointment with the podium or the victory of the legendary endurance race until 2025.
A curiosity: the Tavullia driver’s first 8 hours of Suzuka also ended prematurely. Rossi had crashed at the hairpin, thus losing contact with the leading positions, but the Honda crew’s hopes were put to rest by a fall in a fast corner by fellow crew member Colin Edwards. The two redeemed themselves the following year, in 2001, winning the legendary race in Japan.
